Description

The Old Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of colourwashed rubble stone and features a gabled stone-tiled roof with end brick stacks. The south front is two storeys high with four bays, which include modern three-light casement windows and a modern door. Above the door is a late 17th-century wooden hood supported by plain brackets, featuring a bolection frieze with mannerist detailing beneath a bracketed cornice. The west front has a two-light splayed stone mullion window at ground floor level with cast iron casements. The rear has a catslide roof over outshuts, with the west side made of stone rubble and the east side of brick. There are three gabled dormers in the roof, all with rendered cheeks and stone-tiled roofs. Inside, some of the ground floor features stopped and chamfered beams.
